They have decided to fight, running away completely is not an otpion, but they can fight a withdrawal action. What constitutes a fair fight if one had muskets with bayonets and the other has rifles.

Situation A: Clear Terrain, Red Army has 1,000 muskets, Blue Army needs ______ rifles to fight a Draw.

Situation B: 50% forest. Red Army has those same 1,000 muskets, Blue Army needs ________ rifles to fight a Draw.
